It hears what you play and compares it to the instructor’s rendition, then returns a percentage score in real time.

You can even remove the lead or rhythm guitar from provided tracks and join in the gig yourself. Licensed tracks are included from artists such as Oasis and Boston.

Rock band Boston founder Tom Scholz, pictured on the right (image credit: Harry Fisher), is considered a technological wizard who holds electronics-related patents.
